No objection on my part, of course. And apologies for acting on this
with the previous NMU well after it was actually useful to do so. I
doubt you need my help to proceed, but in case you do (e.g. for
testing), let me know

Let me point out that all this is about sysklogd, which is no longer the
default syslog on Debian since quite a while. (Which explains the steep
drop of popularity of the package in popularity contest.) That is no
reason to not clean up what has been introduced by previous changes.
Nonetheless if we really want to clean up, it'd probably make sense to
add some warning/hint that suggests to migrate to rsyslog (even only if
in NEWS.Debian), our default syslog since quite a while.
Cheers.
